MOON TOWNSHIP (KDKA) — Vice President Mike Pence came to Pittsburgh on Saturday afternoon to campaign for local Congressman Keith Rothfus, who faces a strong challenge in the fall from Congressman Conor Lamb.

Approximately 100 Rothfus supporters waited nearly an hour to hear Pence praise the local Republican and urge voters to re-elect him over Lamb.

“For the last six years, Keith Rothfus has been putting Pennsylvania and America first, and we couldn’t be more grateful,” Pence said.

Pence said with Rothfus’s full support, President Trump is restoring America to greatness with increased military spending, tax cuts and job creation.

“With this president’s strong, strong leadership and the support of Congressman Rothfus and these other great conservatives, we all know this economy is rolling back,” Pence said.

In a tweet Saturday morning, the president endorsed Rothfus, referring to Lamb as “Lamb the Sham” for “telling everyone how much he likes me but he will only vote for Nancy Pelosi.”

…everyone how much he likes me, but he will only vote with Nancy Pelosi. Keith is strong on borders and tough on crime — and loves cutting taxes! #MAGA
